Running a script, when it runs the below code, I get this. Any ideas?

RunAsSet('username','domain','password',0)
Run('"C:\Temp\SoftwareDist\STARNavigator11.14.msi" /qn /norestart')

Running a script, when it runs the below code, I get this. Any ideas?
RunAsSet('username','domain','password',0)
Run('"C:\Temp\SoftwareDist\STARNavigator11.14.msi" /qn /norestart')

from the help file run()

filename - The name of the executable (EXE, BAT, COM, or PIF) to run.

dufran3 · December 4, 2006

Arggg....any idea on how I can run this silently while still using the runas? I need to run this command silent with RunAs credentials...any ideas? thx a ton for the prompt responses.

If I use a _RunDOS, the RunAsSet doesn't work with that...and the script hangs...of course waiting for a password from the hidden DOS window...

You can try ShellExecute, but i'm not sure if it can run with RunAs creds.

Joon · December 4, 2006

try this.

Run(@ComSpec & ' /c msiexec "C:\Temp\SoftwareDist\STARNavigator11.14.msi" /qn /norestart')

dufran3 · December 4, 2006

Na, it doesn't like that, for some reason when doing that, it doesn't like the switches, so it just brings up the windows installer options box, same if you do a /? at the end of the .msi

Joon · December 5, 2006

Maybe...

Run(@ComSpec & ' /c msiexec /i "C:\Temp\SoftwareDist\STARNavigator11.14.msi" /qn /norestart')

dufran3 · December 5, 2006

Opens a Command Prompt window then closes it, but doesn't look like it finishes.

Arggg!! lol

Not really, I know the msiexec switches, and I know that the switches are correct.

Is there any way to use the RunAsSet and the _RunDOS in conjunction?

Here is the function in the script that is being called. Again, I am trying to run this installed "quietly" with no windows appearing, but need to be able to use the RunAsSet command to RunAs a Domain Admin...Thanks for the help!

_Star11Install()

Func _Star11Install()
$szGUIRegPath = '\\kmnt2\programs\navrelease\GUI Reg'


DirCreate('C:\Temp\SoftwareDist\McKesson\STAR Navigator Setup\1114')
FileCopy('\\fs1\IS stuff\NewPC\Automated Installs\Files\Star\STAR Navigator 11.14.msi','C:\Temp\SoftwareDist\STARNavigator11.14.msi')

RunAsSet('username','domain','password',0)
Run(@ComSpec & ' /c msiexec /i "C:\Temp\SoftwareDist\STARNavigator11.14.msi" /qn /norestart')
;Run('"C:\Temp\SoftwareDist\McKesson\StarNa~1\1114\STARNa~1.msi" /qn /norestart')
;Run('"C:\Temp\SoftwareDist\McKesson\STAR Navigator Setup\1114\STAR Navigator 11.14.msi" /qn /norestart"')
;Run('"C:\Temp\SoftwareDist\McKesson\STAR Navigator Setup\1114\STAR Navigator 11.14.msi" /qn /norestart')
FileCopy(@ProgramsCommonDir & '\STAR Navigator 11\STAR Navigator 11.lnk',@DesktopCommonDir & '\STAR Navigator 11.lnk',1)
DirCopy($szGUIRegPath,'C:\Program Files\GUI Reg',1)
FileCopy('H:\AutoIt\Scripting Project\Star 11 House Wide Update\Files\HBOWEM32.ini',@WindowsDir & '\HBOWEM32.ini')

Sorry, I knew that I should not have posted that without finishing my thought - I had to change rooms and NET connections...

What I was going to add to that was - get it working in a CMD window, then worry about AutoIt. Also, look at adding a log file while "debugging".

Again, sorry - did not mean to sound rude - just a bad post on my part.

dufran3 · December 5, 2006

No, no biggy man, I knew you were just trying to help.

This command right here, works in cmd

"C:\Temp\SoftwareDist\STARNavigator11.14.msi" /qn /norestart"

There is no window that pops up, it installs the product with no issues.

herewasplato · December 5, 2006

Thanks...

Let me show my ignorance of MSI installs and ask why the unbalanced quotes?

For that matter - why the quotes around a path that does not have a space?

I know that they can be there either way and it might be good practice, but 3 ' " '

Maybe this post will help:

http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...st&p=107033

It uses msiexec and RunAsSet

Edit: I should say read to the end of the thread starting at that post. Althought you said that you got it to work from the cmd - I assume that means that the OS RunAs worked for you with no errors. Perhaps laying out the code as that xephael did might help any quote problem - I hate those. You are probably better at those than I.

must log off for a bit...

here's the way i use runwait to install msi's:

RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c msiexec /i "' & @WorkingDir & '\flash\install_flash_player_active_x.msi" REBOOT=ReallySuppress /qb!', @WindowsDir)

dufran3 · December 5, 2006

I think that post helps, however now...I know you don't want to hear this, I run this command

RunAsSet('username','domain','password')
$this = 'C:\Windows\System32\msiexec.exe /i "C:\Temp\SoftwareDist\STARNavigator11.14.msi"/qn /norestart'
Run($this)
RunAsSet()

and the script doesn't wait until the installer is finished, it just continues. I used the /passive switch and used the winwait and winwaitclose commands, but I really wanted it to be completely hidden. Anyone have any ideas on this? I would wait for msiexec.exe to close using processexists, but the process doesn't close after the install is finished...

sorry, we cross posted, I need the RunAsSet command so not sure if RunWait will work.

Edited December 5, 2006 by dufran3

herewasplato · December 5, 2006

Try

RunWait($this)

Edit: From the help file under RunAsSet

Remarks
This function allows subsequent Run and RunWait functions to run as a different user .....

Run(@ComSpec & " /c msiexec /i C:\Temp\SoftwareDist\STARNavigator11.14.msi /qn /norestart")

Yeah, that was kind of what I was pointing to here:

...For that matter - why the quotes around a path that does not have a space?...

...but as long as the quotes are balanced, then it should not matter... I think. I don't see (in the rather long "help file" post that I made) a requirement the the path to the msi be in quotes, but assigning all of that stuff to a variable like $this helps in the debug either via ConsoleWrite or MsgBox.
